regarding ‘change our ways’… I have been recycling for many years of course, but ever since I’ve seen those photos, I’ve tried to figure out how one can go through life without throwing away little plastic lids.

have you? can you? obviously, you can buy milk in the half gallon cartons instead of plastic gallon jugs. (our family goes through so much milk that this is not feasible in our budget ie, 4 half gallon cartons for almost $16 or 2 gallons for ~ $ 8) but beyond that, even OJ cartons have plastic lids, prescriptions bottles have little lids, and SPU does not recycle them. I’ve cut them out when I can (haven’t had bottled water in a long time), but it is not all possible. tiny plastic lids… other little plastic things. once I started looking I was shocked at all the little plastic lids- what do you do? just don’t buy any advil (e.g.)?

I think it’s fantastic that someone has taken the time to document this, and even better that they will play a part in speaking to students about this topic. Changing our ways and methods begins with learning, and what a great opportunity to get younger minds thinking about how to create positive changes for our planet. Thank you Chris Jordan and Noah Zeichner for taking the time to discuss this with the students. Wish we could all attend!
